Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for an on-board unit (OBU) associated with a vehicle to offload traffic to a handheld user equipment (UE) associated with the vehicle. The UE may receive an indication of time-frequency resources to use for transmitting one or more messages on behalf of the OBU, and may transmit the one or more messages to a network entity via the time-frequency resources. In some cases, a status of the OBU may indicate that the OBU is unable to meet requirements for communicating with the network entity, which may trigger the offloading. For example, the OBU may determine to offload the traffic based on identifying the status. Additionally, or alternatively, the network entity may indicate that the OBU is to offload the traffic after receiving a status report from the OBU.
